Review on πŸ”§ Touch Screen Replacement Parts Digitizer Glass Assembly for iPad 2 + WIFI Antenna Cable - Fixcracked (Black) by Craig Mcdonald

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Look no further, A+ product!

This replacement screen (digitizer) for a broken iPad 2 is awesome! Compared to others, he surpasses them all. It was packaged very securely and shipped quickly. It was an incredibly low price of $16.99. But I didn't choose it because it was cheap. It comes with an extra Wi-Fi antenna, which is nice in case you accidentally break your existing one. It came with a new power button and camera mount. The sticky pad was easy to install compared to some others, I want to give you some tips that might help you. Wait a few hours to set it up in a clean, well-lit area. You need a special tool set to get the job done right. I found a fantastic 27 on Revain. Tool kit for only $9.99. Trademark Lifegoo. It had everything you need and more. The quality of the instruments turned out to be much better than I expected. The screwdrivers were magnetized and were accurate. The screws you are dealing with are incredibly small, about the size of a freckle! Make sure you put them in some sort of container when you take them out. The printed instructions that came with it were of poor quality and the print was very small. They have slightly better instructions on this Revain website. There are many videos on YouTube on this topic. The best so far was released by a competitor of this brand. It's easy to find. It's 49 minutes long and has over a million views. I've never done this type of work before. It looked difficult to do it yourself, but if you follow the instructions carefully and take your time, it's doable. The cost of doing it professionally was much higher than the cost of the iPad. A good tip was to use the correct head from a set of mechanical heads to get the right curve radius when you have a curved corner like mine. Put on gloves. The glass breaks when removing the old screen, it's very sharp. Gloves are a must to avoid leaving fingerprints on the screen glass. Before removing the old glass pane, it is advisable to stick it with adhesive tape. This will help get rid of flying shards of glass. If you remove the old screen, it will break badly. I used tape, didn't help. I blew out the interior of the iPad with compressed air to remove tiny pieces of glass. Some say you can use a heat gun to remove the old screen. I think this can damage your electronics. Fen suits me well. I heated up the areas that I worked on immediately. Be very careful when removing the screen. The videos show dangerous areas where you can damage the Wi-Fi antenna, other cables, etc. Have extra alcohol swabs ready. Old adhesive residues are difficult to remove. It is extremely important to get the frame very clean in order to properly bond the new glass. I used medicinal alcohol on the new screen. That made it cloudy. I used regular glass cleaner and then a lint free cloth. Skip the alcohol on the new screen. I used a hair dryer to heat the new screen's adhesive once the screen was in place. I repeatedly pressed firmly around the outer perimeter and heated several times to get good adhesion. Good luck and health!

Pros
  • This part facilitates the installation of the front panel assembly with the adhesive, front camera bracket, and home button cover already installed.
